[000:00:00;00] ah ah, the leaders of russia and the us hold crisis, so i made tensions over ukraine and divisions on security policy. french police fire, take us to break up a freedom convoy raleigh central. piracy is blocked off with checkpoints and armored vehicles. par correspondent reports right from the heart of the action. as you can see, the tear gas isn't coming towards us now. launched by the police just as they were trying to control. and over in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers blocking the ambassador bridge. a key border crossing

with you're watching the international. my name is peter scott and wherever you join us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. now, so our top story, this, our russia has accused the us violating is territorial waters. the us, after an american nuclear power attack, sabrina, was spotted off the country's far east coast. now we obviously comes amid heights intentions between the 2 powers. meanwhile, the u. s. rejected the accusations and refuse to specify the area of its operations . are see that stuff gets a little more earlier. fair to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around ukraine. it's what will the headlines are about. politicians got their eyes on its flooding, twitter to one party, which has been ratcheting up the temperature despite all its claims, of course,

to be the global leader of diplomacy is washington itself. for months it has been pushing this narrative of russia, the aggressive president, putin finalizing. his plans were on the brink of wild will. 3, at the same time, cool, sending millions of dollars of western rate to ukraine, deploying thousands of troops. nato troops closer to russia, borders, diplomacy in short, as interpreted by the us. on friday though, the white house is rhetoric reached really unprecedented levels of hysteria. and the message that we heard was basically very simple to anyone who is in ukraine and was, was one of us get out wasn't, can winter's coming. an invasion could begin at any time. credible prospect that a russian military action would take place even before the end of the olympics. that includes the coming days or a considerations should leave should leave now. well, despite the u. s. providing ups in no evidence, in fact they were refusing to discuss the intelligence the global community pops on to started to be got scared for what we then started witnessing in the light of

those was, was really a mass exodus from kiya of so we had dozens of countries in us citizens to leave as quickly as possible kind of a prophylactic evacuation. the dutch airlines as well. caroline has stopped flying to ukraine for the moment. i know, of course, even going to mention the media is to send into apocalyptic headlines. it seems that the world has taken washington out its word, of course though in the past, we've seen that in the, in the past as well as it's counted for very little. let's remember there's famous claims of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction. what's very telling is that while says this flurry of activity amongst a foreign contingent in ukraine, there are many with then ukraine who logic. he should be the ones who are most terrified by these warnings. simply not buying what washington a selling is needed. who was hit of i don't believe russia will attack us. i don't believe it. i have friends in sack a linen crashing a dog. i don't believe it games from joining the snow. we hope that it won't start,

so we're not thinking about leaving ukraine yet. i think there is a good chance that nothing will happen when you, when you come up with firstly, where is this information coming from? secondly, russians are sloths, and we are a brotherly nation, where we will never be split, no matter how much the americans want it. and it's not just that i mean, and not the person who has looked can't this and seeing it for what it is which is madness. since wash has claimed time and time again, that has no plans to talk to ukraine at all. is the ukranian president himself. now we've heard from him before that people need to seriously tone down the hysteria. but on saturday we had a very clearly frustrated zalinski speaking out. and essentially what he said is, if you're going to come out here with these kinds of obligations, then you need to cough up some evidence. yamazik. i think there is too much information being spread around today about a full scale war waged by russia. there is even talk of specific gets most, we understand all the risks. we understand the risks are there. if you or anyone

has any additional information about a 100 chance of an invasion, gave it to us was immune was quite an interesting moment to undermine one suppose that allies in washington like that. but it really, i think, goes to show how zalinski feels that his country is perhaps being used here. i. and when we're talking about washington's political goals on perhaps how to control the situation has become one thing that has remained constant though, is russia denying at that they have any plans to invade ukraine not been from day one and anything new enough front though. while you know what, it's almost as bizarre twist, because now it seems the key of and must go to washington. of course, would like us to believe a sworn enemies of the ones who are now on the same page because they seem to shad this opinion that what washington is now saying is not just completely excessive and hyped up. it's not disrespectful to the people of ukraine. for 2 months, the u. s. has been saying russia is going to attack ukraine any day now. for 2 months, ukraine's president and security services have been saying they don't have such

information. and now they're even asking concerned parties to share data for 2 months. they have been insulting common sense and the ukranian people on that path to carrying out yet another global provocation campaign. and if we're going to talk about provocation, an american submarine discovered in russian waters unannounced on approved, on responsive to request to leave the apparently, when it was off to soften to sort of show itself it's scary to way at very high speeds. but i mean a minute to vessel in foreign waters at a time when, according to washington, the world peace is hanging on by a thread. i mean, it really does take kind of special level of delusion for the us to do that. and then claim that russia is the one that's being the aggressor, but just fine you. what i want to do is just step back with all of this and look at the big picture. because one has to say that for weston nita's these last couple of months, this week especially has been an excellent opportunity for p. all. you know, you've got president micro france with elections this year. he's been kind of

shocking between moscow and keep trying to present himself as this european peacemaker here to cool with pearson this saturday as the president boynton. what that means is that if on, when russia doesn't invade ukraine, as by the way did fightin. and what we heard, again, was this rehashing of really what we've heard and conversations all those times before russia for the a 1000 times saying we are not going to attack ukraine. america saying we don't believe you. we think that you are very aggressive, and by the way, if you're lying to us and you even touch ukraine with a finger, there is going to be a serious price to pay. what really, all this means though is that if and when russia does indeed not invade its neighbor, i mean bite and especially is going to come looking out like a said he will be the hero. who saved the world from war and stop the evil to turn in his tracks. and of course, the media will support him still be churning out that headline, which means that all the articles about how inflation is at rapport high,

hasn't been as bad in 40 years. those articles will just drop right to the bottom of the page. no one will remember the debacle of the afghanistan withdrawal. no one will be interested in the fact that by all accounts, and if polling is believed there is an absolute bloodbath awaiting the democrats at the midterm elections bite and will be writing on this wave of success for the rest of his life. but simply, it's really just another day and not that political game well played. and it seems that the stability of ukraine, of course, the mental health of its citizens, just collateral damage. no vladimir putin, a job wired and had a conversation by phone on saturday, which was brought forward the request of the white house and the oval office rece. the statement following the call saying that america was open to diplomacy. but that he was equally prepared to impose severe course on russia. in the event of an invasion. russia's foreign policy adviser, yury was shot cove, said the prison spoke about the danger of foreign military aid flowing,

insecure of rush with the president. drew attention to the danger of militarize in ukraine is the western countries a purposefully pumping the country with modern weapons, which encourages possible provocations by ukrainian security forces towards dom boss and crimea pos can't point to any evidence backing up their claims of this intelligence that somehow rushes, a poised for an imminent attack on ukraine, and because they can't point to any source is either in my opinion, there is no credible evidence that russia is about to attack ukraine. um, and i don't think anybody in the world believes them anymore because their intelligence in the past has been faulty, manipulated men used as pretext for war such as the tonkin gulf incident that provoked the yacht viet nam, the bombing of north vietnam, or the weapons of mass destruction, which provoked the attack on iraq. so i don't think anyone believes their

intelligence. i think this is an artificial crisis created by the us. and the reason that they are not showering any intelligence with mr. zalinski and ukraine is because he is merely upon in their game. he is not to be consulted at the highest levels. he is just expected to do. why the, the imperial master tells him to the talk of war is only making things worse for mister zalinski. and i, i think that our us relations with ukraine will continue to slow deteriorate ad. the longer this crisis goes on. now for some of the news over 32000 people took part in a freedom convoy process in paris, which was inspired by the canadian movement against harsh covey restrictions. now we believe the 54 people so far have been arrested with riah police firing tier gus

are the activists, are corresponding shaw davinsky senses this report from the hot, the unrest. i think above the sea, behind me, they're all about a 1000 people marching through the streets of paris just on this particular protest . now you may be aware that the freedom convoy the so called freedom convoy, was banned by the authorities here in paris. had therefore, thousands of vehicles all camped out around the gates of the city because they were not allowed to enter since the friday there has been a massive police operation to try in stock. march is like this taking place. in fact, there are many, many police out on the street state monitoring and everything. in fact, you still have not last italy and the police who are that stopping the protections from taking the route that they had intended to take. we know that they have been hundreds upon hundreds of verbalization already from the police,

but we heard from the french prime minister on friday that anybody trying to block the roads in paris would feel the severe consequences of the law. we also heard that from the police authorities here in paris, suggesting that organizes could face prison sentences and also find several 1000 euros and they were taking part as well, trying to block roads. i could see that driving license is suspended for a number of years and also face huge fine. so what is all of us are back? well, as we saw in canada, the freedom convoy is a march for liberties people, hey demanding that end to the vaccine pass. this is a part that regulate who can and who caused to go into places like restaurants in cafes, depending on whether they just recovered from cove it or whether they have been fully vaccinated in frogs. that means 2 jobs have something like 5 or my own techs plus a booster dose. and as a result of that,

there remains several 1000000 in across sheila unvaccinated and furious weeping, speaking in the hearing from some of them to our own, the convoy why they are taken to yeah, we have been told that in march or april they will abolish health passes there was that to encourage us to vote. there are a lot of things that need to change to improve the country small. the government should stop taking people for fools readily. all rights and freedoms are being violated. we have the right to work the to spend and be tax it for you guys, but all the price is going on. you not to mention the ridiculous health rules you also, he drives me crazy to see what's going on until the pasco, almost everything is banned. now, but we still have the right to protest, it's the only right we have left. since the very beginning we have been demanding the removal of a manual micron region. we also want pay arises and tax cuts, especially on fuel. so that's the demand,

but this is gone much further than not what we are seeing, a demand similar to that, what we heard from the yellow vests back in 2018, that there is an issue with purchasing power in france and they want more money spent on public services, so a very general to mon, well, as you can see, the tear gas is coming towards us now launched by the police just behind as they were trying to control the crowd, the crowds attempting to run up the steps and to be able to get past this police convoy that is trying to keep everything in order. would you not have to move further now because my gas is coming towards us. as you can see, big big clouds are moving along with the police here forming a barrel cage. and they are trying to separate the crowd down, the rest of the crowd has moved all away a back to away from the plume of chia guess that was launched by the police in

attempts to control the situ. i. this convoys been relatively calm. however, we have seen small incursions between the protestors and the police as they truly make their way through paris. well, earlier we spoke with an artist involved in the french freedom convoy and he says, the movement is simply a way of making the government lesson a she long gizmos more. for almost 10 months. we've been protesting every saturday . but the authorities in some media outlets have tried to make these large gatherings look invisible. no one was talking about these demonstrations. we tried all democratic means and have been brushed aside like crumbs. and today the freedom convoys providing a way to finally be heard. there are many reasons to stand up to the government, but i think the main to mind is to cancel the vaccine policy, which leads to segregation suspension from work and inability to visit loved ones

in hospital or nursing home. this, the protesters are driven not only by a justified desire to resist the government, but also by hope. and that's why we're seeing people help each other. i think that's why this movement can win because it offers something positive. it's a way to restore connections between people that have been deliberately severed for some time. and there's another solidarity rally happening over in the netherlands. truckers are blocking the city center in the hague. they've lined up outside a government building and are defying a police order to disperse. organizers say they'll continue their process for at least a week and could seem with similar movements in france and belgium. the freedom convoy is going truly global. now, with protests bringing up in australia and austria, both countries have seen mounting public anger over relentless, proven restrictions. and austria's vaccine rose as some of the toughest in the world. with all adults required to take a covey shot or pay fines of up to $3600.00 euros. well, after the break,

we'll say you to the origin of all these protests canada to see what's happening at north america's busiest border crossing in ontario, stay close. aah! ah bring you the very latest every out the day this is off now. snow from everyone here with her,

all those driven by trainers shaped by center senators with there's sinks, we dared to ask ah, welcome back to the news here on our see international in canada, a stand off is currently unfolding at the country's busiest border crossing with the u. s. security forces trying to clear the ambassador bridge where truck is involved with anti cove. it mandate the freedom convoy a blocking traffic on the ontario side. the province is declared, a state of emergency and the nation's prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, though many say it's

a crisis of just into those are making. if you join the protests because you're tired of colvin, you now need to understand, you are breaking laws. the consequences are becoming more and more severe. the deliberate politicization of the pandemic is undermined trust in our public health institutions. and as damage to national unity prime ministers, opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians. canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward ending mandates and removing restrictions. while our government has no clear plan to do the same, the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. the prime minister has stopped basing his decisions on science. he's now basing them on political science doing whatever it takes to save his own political skin. when will canadians have a clear plant in the mandate here?

now the movement started back in mid january and it was against vaccine monday for canadian cross border truckers. but since then it's become a nationwide rallying points for grievances against the government. a judge has now issued an injunction which allows police to force processes from the ambassador bridge. the truckers in ontario have been highlighting the grass roots supports that protest is getting from large sways of the public. one of the same time pointing to other provinces such as alberta, saskatchewan, and quebec, which are all starting to roll by cove restrictions on vaccine mandates. in the capital or to where you can see the live pitches, hair protest is a currently gathered on parliament hill. and as despite the government attempts to subdue the anti mandates movements, moreover, witnesses say more trucks are traveling to alter and police anticipate new arrivals to the protest over the course of the weekend. well, earlier i spoke with the support of the movements who says he's been soft living in

district cove measures. and the movements itself is peaceful for 2 years myself and many liked me how endured financial losses and economic hardship. we have endured this for 2 years because of these unreasonable mandates that have never been justified. what resonates so deeply about this is that we share love work growing the movement in law and we're peaceful. and that's a message that can easily go global. when law enforcement attempts to get active with pro chester is what it does is it strengthens the resolve of the protesters. with that being sad, this group is determined to move forward in peace. and anybody who does not behave in a peaceful manner is not associated with this group. and so law enforcement has been

somewhat active near parliament. but there is really, i haven't witnessed any conflicts between protesters. if justin trudeau was a person of integrity, he would come out and he would talk to various leaders in the freedom movement, including the leaders of the freedom convoy. that would be if he was a person of integrity who truly was interested in democratic rule. enough for some sporting use, the cause of arbitration for sports will hold a hearing on sunday. on the case of russian figure skater camila valley over the 15 year old was embroiled in control of and see the beijing winter olympics this week . thus, after it was confirmed, she tested positive for a buns substance back in december. now she won't, gold some days ago as part of the russian figure skating scored in a team competition. but the middles have been withheld due to the scandal. a decision on the case is expected to come

a day before the female skates as individual competition. well, oliver is favorite to tell the podium rushes figure. skating federation says it's standing by the teenage athletes. we do not doubt the honesty of our athlete. this case requires a thorough investigation because this whole wild story raises too many questions. meanwhile, the international olympic committee has said it will help with the investigation to ensure proceed smoothly, adding it will take soft action. if cheating is proven, we thought to a cardiologist to explain to us how the buns, substance in question, may the fated camila valley ever will know year in year many coaches consult with doctors, he don't see the lists of forbidden substances. it seems something like this happened to maria, she rap over with milton or see what's also important is that try metacity ins. effects has not been properly studied for people under the age of 18. on the one hand, it's a very mild medicine, more like a vitamin, but there's

a whole science studies how medicines should be prescribed for children. because the under 18 group always requires special clinical research to athletes. recovery is usually reached through the right type of training. and physical activity, not with medication. i believe white list should be compiled, just give them a list of the products. athletes can take, white lists would have solve the problem. the u. s. is threatened to prosecute russians allegedly involved in the valley of a case. although some a question why the u. s. doping agency is getting involved in the situation at all . are these, danny armstrong takes up that point? now if olympic medals were given out for politicization, the u. s. would probably make a clean sweep, of course with the squeaky clean athletes to the treatment of camille, of oliver says, as proof that washington's political games and found a new playing field this time on the ice, the heads of america's anti doping agency wants the raw chink of acts to prosecute

the team skate sensation. as more faxes develops, i think the rod jenko facts potentially could come into play. if there's a doctor or a coach or state officials, sports official who conspired to dope valley eva than the rod shank of act fits like a glove because it's an international major competition passed in 2020 the act is named in honor of former moscow anti doping lab chief gregory rochon cove, a man known as doctor death and who allegedly always saw a wide spread doping program in 2014 before fleeing to the u. s. where he was placed on the government protection. his claims had more contradictions, thing clarity, and then he simply disappeared into thin air. hardly a whiter than white reputation to enforce fines of a cool $1000000.00, or even 10 years in jail. the 1st and only prosecution came last summer. this prosecution is entirely appropriate and puts real cheese into anti doping

enforcement while also setting an example of international cooperation and fair play for future generations. but here's the catch. the law is only used when doping affects us athletes, broadcast and sponsors convenient. you might say, meanwhile, a plethora of top. your sports stars are completely untouched by water jurisdiction . but this all encompassing and overreaching american or 40 on the international stage hasn't gone totally unnoticed. the i o c and was, are worried about the involvement of the f. b, i and attempts to make us law globally accepted. it is a matter of concern that the intention of the legislation is to per athletes from all $206.00 national olympic committees from around the world who take part in international competition under the criminal code of u. s. law. the world anti doping agency, as well as several governments in international sports organizations remain concerned that the act could have a number of negative,

unintended consequences for the fight against stoping in sports around the world. this of course, has nothing to do with a rookie skater wiping the ice with the u. s. team. and that the announcement about alleged doping came after an r o c gold and u. s. silver. that would be too much of a coincidence, especially after test taken in december and now being talked about in february, it looks very strange that it took almost a month for the sample to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. it seems like that some one held this prob, until the end of the team skating competition in b jane. i can't remember any previous situation when it took so long for a result. you know, fair play and sport just go together in the 21st century. so whatever america is saying at the moment is not, shall we say, inspired by the spirit of play is political. i mean,

these are insanely political against the crescent olympics. i mean, it's charged with a political current, and everyone knows that. so it's pretty plain to see that the u. s. is trying to create a level playing field, but only when it benefits their own athletes. and while the u. s. may stand at the top of the podium for playing political games. if it stops it's posturing, them simply played fair. it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes. while that's a rap for this or whatever you during this weekend, i hope you're having a good one. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again in 30 minutes, but stay tuned for more gray program. so not international algorithms and neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online

because our relationships are what matters most of us. and that's what we find meaning and how we make sense of our place in silicon valley see don't mention in this leak presentations. however, the const let those who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as is in your, of automate. the hind jones screen is a wrong rebel workforce. that seems algorithm is for next to nothing. on a very good day. i can do $5.00 now. at a really bad day. i can do $0.10 now. these workers are invisible by design, it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of weston responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it can join me every thursday on the alex saline. sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics,

sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. and then i kind of to mother g and vinegar. derek g salmon, su rotter's, foot by latera up to beulah he had he had you broke up and you know he'd be void. she and that he got in then bulldozer become well no, have you done with it? yeah. do you have your manage afterwards? every bit of but i did, you know, with one of us will be going on. who are the numbers didn't gun. did you get the beer garden that
